no offense but i found this tut a little hard to follow. mabey post your steps in seprate numbers instead of "1.3" write "3" ect. but I admire your atempt and I like the idea. I could have never done that on my own.

Two weeks I have been at the tuts and I find everyday they change. Fantastic! I happened on this one and while it was not the 1st tut I have done, it is by far the most advanced tut and I was able to do it in 1 shot. I am having a problem and I really need help with this. HOW in the world do you all get them shadows? I tried rotate/zoom, oblique, tube oblique and I can't get my shadow down on the ground!! Hehehehe. I haven't even attempted reflefctions as of yet. Could someone please explain? Here is what I have so far:

If reflections are not that hard to explain or if there is a tut that would help me, I sure would appreciate the info.

I got a start on reflections, thanx to Saturn of Ribbons thanx a mill Wither. Now to learn the neat shadowing tenique! Anyone able to help??

I've done this orb on my 4th attempt, following your tutorial exactly step by step. I'm happy with it but with the base orb wich could have been placed a bit more down.

The tut is great to learn about layers (although I'm still a bit blured on my trigonometrie vision) but as I'm complete new to paint.net or any drawing program for all that matters I'm finding a bit difficult to adjust the center image in order to get a clear one, this is, providing I can find a transparent background one.

I've been at it for about 2 hours now I didn't put anything in the orb yet but I will have a go later!

I think I went a bit wrong as there is a black bar at the top (no idea where that came from ), the middle chrome bit isn't continuous and part of my middle circle got chopped off!. I think I'll have another go when I'm not so brain-dead!
